To do that, we are building America's Next-Generation Power Company; the first engineering-led, technology-focused, R&D-driven electricity company. We are a team of tenacious engineers, operators, and creatives who have solved hard problems and are here to do it again.
We are looking for a hardware test engineer to design and run tests that ensure our hardware systems perform reliably under real-world conditions. You will be responsible for building and automating test setups, analyzing results, and sharing findings in a clear, useful way. This role is ideal for someone who's hands-on, detail-oriented, and comfortable working across mechanical, electrical, and software domains.
Responsibilities:
- Run any kind of engineering test - electrical, mechanical, or software.
- Design systems to automate testing across any domain listed above.
- Write world class test reports, communicate out to team with high signal and efficiency.
Qualifications:
- 2+ years in a test engineering role testing electromechanical products which run embedded firmware.
- Deep knowledge of data acquisition systems.
- Knowledge of how to to set up, run, troubleshoot and monitor a thermal chamber of any size.
- Experience running tests to characterize mechanical, electrical, thermal performance and more.
- High standards for quality and clarity in technical documentation and test reports.
- Proficient in test-engineering automation and data-acquisition software suites of LabVIEW, Python.
If you're passionate about tackling one of the most critical challenges of our time, now is the time to join us. Together, we can usher in a new era of American energy abundance by developing the hardware, software, and deployment operations that make it possible.
Our Values:
We're building a winning culture, and we're looking for people who are up for the challenge. These are the values we expect you to embrace from day one:
- In-Person Work: We work full-time in the office. There is no hybrid or remote work.
- Challenge Assumptions: We're not here to do things the way they've always been done. We look for people who question the status quo and improve broken systems. We are guided by principles, not rules.
- Operate with Urgency: Speed matters. We focus on what's essential, make fast progress, and iterate quickly. Execution drives learning, and learning drives impact. Always have a bias for action.
- Give & Seek Feedback: We value intellectual honesty. We expect you to challenge ideas (even your own), give direct feedback, and receive it with humility.
- Deliver: We are high achievers with a drive to win. We take end-to-end accountability for seeing our work through and delivering on our responsibilities.
- Think Like an Owner: We are all owners of the business. We use our time and resources wisely and take personal responsibility for our impact on the bottom line.
- Be Opinionated: Great people make decisions with imperfect information. Eliminate murky ownership and drive towards decisions.
- Bring the Intensity: This is not a 9-to-5 job. We are building something hard, and that requires real commitment.
